Burps, bottoms and bile

BURPS, BOTTOMS AND BILE!

This half term our topic is Burps, Bottoms and Bile. During this topic we will be exploring and learning about different functions and organs in our bodies; such as the digestive system and the mouth. So far the children have learnt all about teeth, the different types of teeth and their function. As well as the digestive system and all the different organs involved. I am sure all of your children can tell you some interesting facts they have learnt so far!

Wednesday 15th March 2017

This afternoon the children of year 4 gathered together to observe a practical demonstration of how the digestive system works. The children were actively involved in this session and had the opportunity to be teeth and mush up the food, adding bile and acid, as well as squeezing the digested food through the intestines. The children loved seeing and taking part in this and were amazed with seeing how food actually looks as it enters each stage in the digestive system.
